Across the ocean.

At a manor in Palm Beach, a group of people are having a barbecue. Chunks of kebab on a shiny steel fork give off an enticing aroma. Gourmet treats such as fine wine, truffles, red sausages, and caviar fill the table.

Not far away, on a large holographic projection screen, the scene of the meeting of the representatives of the member states of the United Nations Security Council is being played. The representative of Fuso was standing in his chair with an excited face, waving his arms and shouting hoarsely:

“…… Gene technology is related to the core security and interests of mankind, and it should be the common property of all mankind, and it must not be allowed to be occupied by an irresponsible country or group alone and used to claim huge wealth and interests that do not belong to itself. This is the most serious threat to world peace, and it is an extremely inhumane, undemocratic, and unreasonable act!"

"In order to maintain the stability and healthy development of the international situation, for the future of human destiny, and for the peace of the whole earth, Huaguo and Xinglan Group must make their due contributions, assume their responsibilities and obligations to the world, open up all the technical mysteries of genetic technology, and ...... for the well-being of billions of human beings."

An old man with gray hair and sharp eyes glanced at him coldly, and instructed the waiter next to him in an indifferent tone: "Turn it off, watching such a clown-like guy perform really affects everyone's appetite." ”

The waiter nodded silently and walked over to turn off the projection TV.

"Mr. Straw, this is a difficult thing to do. ”

On the opposite side, a burly middle-aged man holding red wine frowned tightly and said with a solemn face.

Straw sighed: "Yes, this kind of trick can only be used to suppress some powerless small and medium-sized countries, and it is really difficult to have any effect on a superpower like Huaguo, as well as the Xinglan Group." If they ignore them, can we really sanction them?"

Wielding the big stick of blockade and sanctions against some disobedient small and medium-sized countries, and even further war subversion, is a routine that the European and American powers have played skillfully in the past few decades. Including China, which has not yet developed in an all-round way, has enjoyed such treatment all year round.

It's just that economic and trade sanctions and blockades have always been a double-edged sword that hurts others and hurts themselves, especially for big countries. Although China has enjoyed sanctions before, it has never bowed its head, worked hard and developed silently, and its national strength is thriving, and now it has become one of the only two superpowers on the blue star.

Just like now, although the European and American countries are becoming more and more dissatisfied and hostile to the Chinese government, there is no way to force the country to compromise and make concessions. If they really continue to play the sanctions card ruthlessly, I am afraid that those big tycoons and big capitalists in China will not be able to get life-saving medicines, and they will immediately unite to strangle the officials who ordered the sanctions to death.

"Isn't there a way for us to convince the Chinese government and the Xinglan Group to export more drugs through peaceful means? A middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears touched his bulging belly and said in a snort.

"Come on, those cunning and sinister bastards aren't short of money right now, and they're clearly trying to suppress and blackmail us. In Oriental parlance, this is called giving a faceless shame. A thin, mean-looking old man snorted unhappily.

It is also a consistent trick of European and American countries to monopolize certain special resources and technologies, and then sit on the ground and raise prices, wantonly squeeze and blackmail the vast number of third world countries, and make all kinds of difficulties and choke their necks. But when the same thing happens to them, it doesn't feel so pleasant.

The head of the Morgan consortium looked at everyone's expressions and spread their hands helplessly: "There is no doubt that they are a group of nasty bastards, a group of ...... But no matter how dissatisfied we are, we now need their medicines, our technology, and all kinds of in-depth cooperation with them. ”

"Only in this way can our future rights and interests and status be guaranteed, if we don't have this big cake of interests, then the dominance of this planet in the future may not belong to our Western civilization. ”

Everyone was speechless, and this group of big men who occupied the peak of the pyramid in the Western world would not have any good way to deal with it for a while in the face of a strong opponent who was not inferior to them in terms of strength.

"Mr. Christopher, you know all about the recent movements of the Xinglan Group, have you analyzed any deeper information?" Straw asked.

Christopher, a handsome man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a blue jacket, was now concentrating on the roast meat on his plate, shook his head when he heard this, and swallowed the food in his mouth before he spoke:

Huaguo, or that group's rapid development in some cutting-edge science and technology fields, has left us far behind, even if we invest a huge amount of money and manpower now, it will be difficult to catch up with them!"

In the newly established future city of Xinglan Group, many of the black technologies displayed in it are still being studied in the laboratory of Western countries, or have just entered a small-scale trial state, and there is still a long way to go before stable large-scale application. However, in China, these technologies have fully matured and become popular. The resulting huge gap has made these bigwigs feel unimaginably great.

One of the key reasons why Western civilization has become the mainstream of the world for hundreds of years is that the overall leadership in the field of science and technology is one of the key reasons. Once this advantage is gone, it means that they will no longer be able to rely on technological superiority to build military superiority as in the past, and then plunder the world's wealth and resources to support themselves.

Without technological superiority, military superiority, and wealth superiority, how much attraction of Western civilization remains? Will it be their turn to dominate the future of the Blue Star?

This Chinese civilization, which has been inherited for nearly 10,000 years and has gone through many hardships but has never been extinct, is it really so unlucky?

Many bigwigs have already seen this worrying trend, and when it is difficult for hardline measures to be effective, they can only lower their posture and plead with the Chinese government, promising various benefits in the hope of getting a piece of the pie and hitching a ride on China's rapid development.

“…… Even if we unite all our forces, we can only barely match them in some areas, and in a few years this gap will become wider and wider. Christopher said gloomily.

The head of the Mellon consortium said slowly: "Since there is no way to force it, then you can only outwit it." What does that beautiful Miss Zhao Xinglan need, or what the Chinese government needs, as long as we give it, it is not non-negotiable, right?"

"For the sake of everyone's vital interests, our capital must enter the market of China and enter the Xinglan Group, only in this way can we ensure that our future status and influence will not decline too much. ”

Christopher threw away the knife and fork in his hand and said hesitantly: "We don't know what Zhao Xinglan wants, but is the appetite of the Chinese government? But it's much more than we imagined, they need Taiwan, the South China Sea, Northeast Asia, Fusang, and even the entire Southwest Pacific, and they need the world dominance of Huaxia currency, and there are so many things they need, do we have to give them all?"

Straw said indifferently: "It's really a lot, but most of them don't seem to be our core interests, and since they want it, it's not negotiable." ”

There was silence in the field, the global hegemony and influence of the United States, but many sages worked hard and painstakingly, experienced several generations of hard work, two world wars, and many soldiers fought bloody. No matter which piece of interest is obtained, it is not a fluke.

For many years, only the United States has embezzled and plundered the interests of other countries, and it is difficult for other countries to take advantage of the United States. Now, in order to please Huaguo, these bigwigs have to consider giving away a lot of benefits in exchange for what they want, and it is really a shame for the ancestors to say it.

The head of the Rockefeller family patted the armrest of the seat lightly and said calmly: "Then so be it, a newly born king should have a sphere of influence and interest space that matches his status." Strictly speaking, there are no irresolvable contradictions and conflicts between our two countries, and it is better to pursue a win-win result. ”

……

Once these big capitalists who dominate the power of the United States behind the scenes reached a consensus, the efficiency was really not to be said, and soon a high-level diplomatic delegation arrived in the imperial capital of China across the ocean, asking for secret talks with high-level leaders.

As an indispensable key figure, Zhao Xinglan participated in the negotiation throughout the process, and finally reached an agreement after many rounds of fierce bargaining.

The Chinese government got almost all the benefits it wanted, and the power of the United States shrank in an all-round way and retreated to Guam and Hawaii, and Fuso, Australia, Northeast Asia, Southeast Asian countries, and the Indian Ocean were all ceded to China.

In exchange, the drug export quota of Xinglan Group to European and American countries will be gradually abolished within three years, allowing European and American consortiums and national governments to subscribe to the bonds and shares of Xinglan Fund, and transfer some less important technical information, etc.

When he signed, the new secretary of state's face was ugly, as if he had eaten stool, and he knew that he would definitely go down in history because of this secret agreement that lost power and humiliated the country, and became one of the historical sinners who led to the decline of the United States.

However, if this is not done, with China's growing national strength, it will only be a matter of waiting a few more years to obtain the above benefits. Rather than being forced to withdraw in disgrace at that time, it is better to exchange it for something you need while the situation is still under control. This is what the decision-makers behind the scenes really think.

Zhao Xinglan didn't care much about this, even if these foreign friends got some benefits temporarily, it couldn't change the trend of them becoming more and more marginalized. Soon they will come up with more and more advanced technology, and in the end they will find that they have worked in vain.
